Gower Reading Enrichment
Helping our students grow as readers
The Gower Foundation is dedicated to help all of our students grow their love of reading and meet their personal reading goals. We do this by supporting the district's twice-yearly book fairs, buying books off the classroom and library wish lists, purchasing Gower West's birthday books, supporting Gower students who participate in the Illinois School Library Reading Award Challenges (Monarch, Bluestem and Caudill), hosting our annual Read-A-Thon, and more.
This October, Janine Asmus, The Innovative Librarian, shared a presentation on Innovative Reading Solutions for students, families and schools. A copy of the presentation can be found here.
